What's that one all about? The ultimate effect of the new ''federalism" amendment would be to allow Congress to pass legislation completely outlawing abortion To accomplish this, the proposed amendment states that 1) a woman s deci sion to abort her pregnancy is not protected by the Constitu tion (this would overturn the Supreme Court's 1973 deci sion), and 2) both the states and the federal government have the right to pass laws restricting abortion The proposal further requires that the more restrictive of these two laws shall govern This amendment was introduced in Congress on Sept 22, 1981 by Sen Orrin Hatch of Utah By allowing Congress the power to pass legislation to completely outlaw abortion, it basically would have the same effect as other Human Life Amendments submitted earlier One major difference is that Mortar Board taps Dorjahn as Professor of the Month University anthropology Prof Vernon R Doriahn has been selected as Mortar Board's Professor of the Month for October * Nominated by students from is Anthropology 326 class Peoples of Africa," Dorjahn was given a certificate Monday morning betore the beginning of the class Doriahn has been an in structor at the University since the late 1950s and has been teaching Peoples of Africa" almost as long The course, part of a year-long sequence, focuses on Northern Africa fall term, South Africa in winter, and Western Africa in the spring The course tries to tie in tradition through an ethnogra phic approach, focusing on Vernon R. Dorjahn the confinement's adjustment to western influx since the 1880s, he says Among the topics covered are United States involvement and inter est in Africa, colonialization, geography, language and eth me grouping and 20th-century politics, among other topics 'In American public school systems, most students learn little about Africa,’1 Dorjahn says Most can't even name the major rivers of Africa." uo hungry on Thursday, famine relief group asks The Oxford Committee for Famine Relief is asking everyone to skip meals Thursday during its "Fast For a World Harvest" Wayne Miller, coordinator of Oxfam s local chapter, is asking people to donate money saved on meals to Oxfam Donations will be used by Oxfam to help fight hunger in Asia, Africa, and Latin America he says A "break-fast" program includes a discussion of Oxfam's relief effort in Kampuchea by Joel Charney.
